Double Dragon II: The Revenge Famicom box
One of my favorite 8-bit games of all time, and (for my money) the best game in the entire Double Dragon franchise, Double Dragon II: The Revenge received an exceptional cover when it was ported to home consoles in 1989. (To give credit where it's due, the cover was adapted from the arcade cabinet side-art and promotional flyer.) This is a composite scan of the Nintendo Famicom box. It's smaller in dimensions, but otherwise very similar to the NES release seen in North America. Jimmy (presumably, the guy wearing red) is holding a battle-weary Marion safe while Billy (the brother in blue, I assume) battles off hordes of the Black Shadow Warriors. If there was image that says "this is cool video game," it has to be this!
